What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's distinction is bridging two related but distinct instruments: hammered and mountain dulcimer players share the same event while demonstrating genuinely contrasting techniques, and workshops break tunes into learnable phrases rather than assuming prior skill

02

The mystery stays covered

Jams then let beginners and veteran players exchange repertoire directly, so the festival functions as active teaching as much as performance, a structure that decades of history since the 1990s have refined into a comfortable, low-pressure rhythm
